Tho Disposition OF the St. Louis Mnroons
pI Not iot Settled Upon. 4afI.
PITTSBURGH, February 2l.-The mana.
gers OF the National Base Ball Lsague
failed to decide whether Indianapolis or
or Kansas City should fll the League
vacancy caused by the withdrawal Of the
st. Louis Maroons. After continuous
session from noon until 9 o'clock this
evening, the committee adjourned without
arriving at any conclusion To convene
again during the regular meeting Of the
League which takes place at tho Fifth
Avenue hotel, Now York, March 7th.
Tho announcement caused great dissp.
pointment among the base bali lights who
throngcl the Monongahela House this
evening, 1t was fully expected that some.
thing definite would be done, and from
the ganeral e1pressions OF the delegates II
was thought that Kansas City would be-
the lucky club. The committee, it seems.
was tavorably disposed to the latter club
bu! emphatic kilograms from the Presi.
dents OF the Boston, Washington, Detroit
and Philadelphia, instructinS the mem.
bers to vote for indianapolis prevented
them from making the selection.
Mr.: Menger, representing the "cow
boys" said he was prepared to out bid
any money proposition made by the
"hoosiers" to tho extent OF S., 900, and he
was authorized to cay that his club would
ba willing to pay the railroad and other
expenses OF tho clubs to Kansas City from
St. Louis.
The Indipnspolisre representative, Messrs.
Treat, Newborger and Burnham could
only offer 5000 for the St. Louis charter
but argued that their city was much bet.
ter located than Kansas City, and they
would agree to put stronger club in the
field. II allowed moro time they would
probably be in r position to offer q higher
bid for the franchise than had been done.
Both applicants contended thatif they pur.
chased the Msrccns' iranchiae they should
have all the players. The committee
then agreed to, defer definite action until
the regular meeting when all the clubs
will have an opportunity to vote on the
question. The delegates left for their
homes tonight. --5
Before departing President Day stated
that it would take $4,000 at least to en-.
tel tho league no matter which club was
selected.

Result Of the Elections,


BERLIN, Feb. 2l.-Tho elections in this
city have resulted unfayorably for all the
government candidates. In four of the
six divisions, second ballots will be neceg-
cary, but in each Of these divisions tho
anti.septennate candidate has at present
majority. n -, =. .
All analysis Of the pollings shows that
to.day's contest was unprecedently stub.
born. AS the night advanced the excite.
ment became intense. Thousands OF peo-
pie surrounded the newspaper offices
waiting special editions giving returns. It
is stated that Singer and Hazenclever have
each over 1000 majority in this city.
Second ballots are necessary in Koen-
ingsburg, Elberfeld, Brielau, Dresden,
Allntadt, Frankfort, Dantzic, stettin, Col
ogne and Munich. Septennists nre elected
in Bremen, Lsipsic and Brunswick.
The socialist organization has bsen
most complete. Socialist electors wero
brought to the polls in battalions.
Two socialists are returned Tor Breslau.
Richter is returned for Hagen. Prince
Bismarck on appearing at his polling sta.
tion in tho second division in this city,
was greeted with storm OF cheers.
According to tho re.ballot arrangement
it is probable that Berlin will bs repre-.
sented by three new German Liberals and
three Socialists.
The returns from tho provinces show
losses by the new German Liberals. Herr
Richter's organ, the Freisinigne Zcitung,
consoles the party by declaring that the
socialists profited by radical disaster.
This, however, 10 not exactly the case.
Tho combined Conservative and National
Liberal supporters of the septennate go.
cured many votes, though it is not clear
oil their having a working majority.
Forckenbeck, Bembergor, StauGenberg
and Gen. Won Mol!ke arc re-eleeted.

SPANISH ouTRAGEs


PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2l.-Another o
those outrages which American shipmas
tors encounter in Spain and its province
10 reported from Malaga, where the Phila,
delphia bark G. Reusens has been seized
and sold after having been detained 10,
over two years. fel4
The trouble arose mainly from o heavy
debt forced upon the bark by Samuel Dab.

lands. Ii.- - = : :
The Reusens sailed from New York tho
latter part OF 1884 for Malaga. Spain, with
a general cargo Of merchandise, and BY
reason Of heavy weather she was Obliged
to put into Fayal as harbor Of refuge, A
Board al Survey was called by the master
Of the ReusenH, who contended, as the re.
pairs would amount to more than the
value Of the bark, that she should be con.
demned as constructive total loss and
abandoned to the underwriters.
Consul Dabney, who Is dealer In yes.
aes' supplies, however, insisted in repair.
ing the bark, which he did, taking in pay.
ment a bottomry bond payable on the
vessel and cargo. When tho bark arrived
at Malaga, tho ownors found their craft
hopeleesly In debt. Their only salvation
would be TO get her homo where the ohli.
cations could be paid without difficulty.
They also found that a debt contracted
outside Of Spain or her dominions could
not be enforced within her provinces. In
spite Of all this the vessel was seizsd and
q writ issued for her condscation, and for
two years she was In charge Of a Spanish
official rotting at tho wharves.
The Spanish Government has since dis.
covered it's error, through the efforts OF
Henry Marston, the United States Consul
General at Malaga, who fought the case
for the owners of the vessel. A suit for
damages has been brought against tho
Spanish Government by Shubert & Cot.
tingham. A. Conover, Z. R. R,sley and
others Of this port, for damages, which
demand is in the hands OF Secretary Of
State Bayard. 5 az

Further on Admiral Porter saws: "I do
